In an era when humans are traveling across the stars, the universe is exhibiting an unsettling "Great Silence" - except for us, there is no trace of any other intelligent civilization.
Ling Xiu, a cosmic archaeologist, has an unexplainable "temporal tear syndrome". He can see and touch "echoes of remains" from the previous or even previous universe reality that should not exist. The universe he lives in is just the latest layer of "reality crust" covering the corpses of countless old universes.
During a routine exploration of the desolate planet "Naraku VII", Ling Xiu came into contact with a "ghost ruins" that did not belong to this universe, and awakened a relic from the lost reality.
This instantly made him the hottest "asset" and the most dangerous "heretic" in the universe.
Giant corporations coveting the forbidden technologies of the past, the Interstellar Federation fearing that reality will be shaken, and mysterious sects pursuing the truth of the "coverage"... All forces took action upon hearing the news.
Ling Xiu was forced to go from being a quiet scholar to embarking on a path of escape and exploration. He must pry open the coffin of the old universe in thrilling "reality dives", find the power to protect himself, and uncover the ultimate horror behind the periodic "covering" of the universe.
Because the "echo" he saw was a sign that the "shelf life" of our universe was coming soon.
